Your community policing team works with community partners to prevent crime, address local concerns and plan policing. They are focused on finding long term solutions for problems.

Contact us if you want to speak to us about:

• neighbourhood or community disputes
• suspected drug use or dealing in your neighbourhood
• sharing information about possible criminal activity in your area
• antisocial behaviour
• non-urgent enquiries
• community safety advice

We use several sources of information to help us decide on local policing priorities. These include the 'Your Police' survey, community meetings and phone calls from residents.
